High, competed on Sunday for the
first time as an American citizen.
And she didn’t disappoint.
Richards’ score of 51.16 became
the fifth-fastest score ever for a high
school female.
Teter’s win, on the other hand,
proved to be the biggest upset of
the day.
The Redwood City, Calif., native
was supposed to give way to fellow
American Regina Jacobs, but that
didn’t happen, as the former
Arkansas runner proved to be too
much, winning the event with a
time of 4:12.93 — two seconds
ahead of Jacobs.
“The race went out perfect for
me,” Teter said. “I think I may have
caught (Jacobs) by surprise by pass
ing her on the corner.”
Runyan, a resident of Eugene,
took first in the 3,000, barely edging
out Ireland’s Sonia O’Sullivan.
Runyan’s time of 8:39.33 was only
0.03 behind O’Sullivan’s Hayward
Field and Prefontaine Classic
record, set in 1996.
Runyan has captured back
to-back titles in the event at the
Pre Classic.

discus, Aretha Hill held oh oppo

the event with a throw of 208-03,
six feet shorter than the Prefontaine
Classic record, but enough to win
by a single foot.
When all was said and done, De
vers, Dragila and Jones left their
marks in the rretontame record
book, and captivated the crowd
with their feats.
“It doesn’t get much better than
this,” Jones said.

throwing today,” Nelson said after
the meet. “But today is Kevin’s day.
I’m so fired up to have him back
and throwing well.”
In February 2001, Toth had sur
gery on his back, which was affect
ing his left push-off leg, and in his
sixth appearance at Hayward
Field, he was at his best. Toth’s
previous personal best was 71-5.5,
which he threw in 1997 at the
USA Championships.
Also in 1997, Toth used his
6-foot-4-inch, near 300-pound
frame (his throwing weight Sun
day was 320 pounds) to compete
in the World’s Strongest Man Con
test. In the U.S. Strongman final,
Toth placed sixth, winning the tire
toss contest.
Toth’s first throw Sunday at the
Classic quickly drew the interest of
the Hayward crowd by breaking the
Pre Classic record by almost a foot.
Godina, ranked No. 1 in the world
four times, followed Toth’s initial
throw with one that would have
been measured longer, but Godina
fouled during his follow through by
stepping outside of the circle.
Toth threw his record-breaking
shot in the fourth round of the com
petition while the crowd sat silent
ly awaiting the start of the men’s
100-meter dash. Toth said that he
took advantage of the situation to
draw the crowd’s attention from the
runners into the shot put circle.
When his record breaking toss
landed beyond the yellow stripe
that signified the previous record,
the crowd erupted into cheers, forc
ing the sprinters to back off of their
starting blocks.
With the excitement of the day,
his record breaking throws and
his exuberant celebratory jump
ing, Toth said he was “dead by the
fifth (round).”
But by then, the damage was al
ready done.
Toth said that this record-break
ing day was just a starting point for
the rest of the outdoor track and
field season.
“Watch out, man,” he said. “I
know bigger things are coming.”
